I once had someone attack me on Mastodon for the Palestine flag in my profile (next to the Ukraine one), telling me that “those people” would happily kill me too for being trans and whatnot. So I was obviously an indoctrinated idiot.

I still cringe about that selfish ignorance. As if a constant state of war and terror would enable anyone to be more open and progressive. As if a society that successfully eradicates another one would be like that either. It’s so phenomenally short-sighted.

At which point does our educational (and healthcare -> therapy) system fail to teach the simple fact that the only way to lasting peace and prosperity is to ensure safety, rights and wellbeing of even those who we may not like or who may not like us? Obviously a lot of people in this world would like to see me dead or incarcerated. But that wouldn’t change if I could suppress them, on the contrary.

We clearly still have a very long road ahead of us (if we survive as a species without destroying the planet first) to true enlightenment and peace.

It’s important to remember that the notion of “humans are the virus” said by Smith shortly after or before this (which is a very popular opinion right now) is inherently ecofascist.

I get the feeling most people don’t even get the reference I was making. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URJ_qSXruW0&t=12m13s

The only acceptable place for Penis Inspection Day is in a Space Station.

That’s guilt by association. Their viewpoint is awful.

I also wished there was no security at the gate of concerts, but I happily accept it if that means actual security (if done reasonably of course). And quite frankly, cute anime girl doing some math is so, so much better than those god damn freaking captchas. Or the service literally dying due to AI DDoS.

Edit: Forgot to mention, proof of work wasn’t invented by or for crypto currency or blockchain. The concept exists since the 90’s (as an idea for Email Spam prevention), making their argument completely nonsensical.
